I've never really known what it is.
Now I know.
On a small scale, of course.
But I do get it.
So this is mud season.
It is
when the snow melts and the ground is saturated and soggy and the dogs' paws are covered in mud and they run in the house and they jump on you who by the way was wearing your new winter white sweater that now has muddy paw prints and you yell and you grab the kitchen towel by the sink of all things to grab and notice it has a smiling snowman on it as you chase them so you can wipe their 12 paws before they jump on the sofa but they think you are playing a new kind of game so they run faster and then they all one by one jump up on the couch.
(Do you folks in the north feel this way when your snowmen melt? Sad?)
Well, now I get this mud season thing.
I liked the snow better.
WAY.
Not a bit sad! We have freezing rain this morning, have had snow since November...we're tired of it and have at least two more months to go before mud season. I say bring on the mud! I can just picture your dogs though, thinking you're playing a game with them. Funny.
ReplyDeleteEveryone seems to be posting about their dogs. I did, and Pammy Sue's story (on my side bar) is HILARIOUS!

Hey city farmgirl - I just got a great idea for you. Wear an apron during mud season!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Cindy, indeed!! You're exactly right--an apron would've saved me for sure! I'm learning how to live in the north!
ReplyDeleteFunny!
ReplyDeleteNew kind of game? HAHA!
BTW, thx for leaving a comment on my blog. I never thought to check V's paws...hahah However, now I have and now I know too. haha
Wish the mud days were here in Minnesota. We sould then know spring and gardening are right around the corner. Cold here (-12 degrees today) Your winter soltice celebration was very nice and a few extra minutes of sunlight everyday is uplifting. I have really avoided white or any solid color flooring, chairs, couches or comforters so the accidental mud prints of furry friends are not so obvious and I don't need to scrub quite so hard if I miss wiping the paws when he strolls into the house.
